About Vermont
Vermont is a state that is best enjoyed outdoors. Although it is the only New England state without Atlantic coastline, its border with Lake Champlain more than compensates. Each year, crowds flock to the celebrated slopes of Killington, Mt Snow and Stowe for the finest skiing and snowboarding on the East Coast. Vermont is a small, highly attractive state. It is the third-largest ski state in USA with 16 alpine resorts and just under 30 for cross-country skiing. Take the time to sample some maple syrup, indulge in local cheeses, or visit the birthplace of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
Weather in Vermont
Climate is changeable, with greater differences between summer and winter temperatures than most parts of New England. But generally Vermont has sunny and warm summers, followed by cold winters with abundant snowfall. Snowfall in winter is heavy and most rainfall occurs in the summer. Spring tends to bring what is known as the mud season.
Getting there
You can fly to Burlington International Airport (BTV). Another alternative is the Manchester Airport (MHT) in New Hampshire and it is a 2 hour or less drive to just about anywhere in Vermont.
